Slow startup of compile command when emacs is started from GUI

[nicolasdespres]

Issue description

When emacs-plus@29 is started from the dock (as a regular application) running a trivial command such echo foo with M-x compile takes nearly a second to start, whereas it is instant when emacs is started from the terminal. The compilation mode buffer does show quickly in both cases it is just the command that it is slow to start. Emacs has full disk access. Any idea how to solves this ?

Here my compilation flags: --with-native-comp --with-compress-install --with-poll --with-imagemagick --with-mailutils
macOS version: Sonoma 14.3.1 (23D60)

One thing that could be slowing down invocations from the GUI instance is that Emacs itself is not marked as a Developer Tool in macOS. In Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Tools, try adding your Emacs app. This essentially makes Gatekeeper skip some live checks against remote servers for known malware whenever it runs any executable.
